Commissioned by the Snellville Historical Society and winner of the GHRAC Award for Excellence in Documenting Georgia’s History, 200 Years of Snellville History is the first complete, research-intensive chronicle of this vibrant community. Six years in the making, this 529-page tome spans 21 chapters and features over 360 archival photographs, figures, and tables.
Author James W. Cofer, Jr. meticulously documents the area’s evolution—from the Native American period and early settler families to its schools, churches, military heroes, and business industry. Readers will also discover chapters devoted to local folklore, a Snellville Hall of Fame, and vivid descriptions of lost practices like one-horse farming and sawmilling. It is the definitive record of a town “Where Everybody is Proud to Be Somebody.”
